 It's got to be better than the rain here. I am fed up of being wet!

I left Albufeira last Sunday 21st Jan to brill sunshine at 09.00hrs, weather clear all the way until we hit coast of Spain (Santander) then clouds all the way to Manchester. Arrived home to rain rain and more rain, our garden at home was flooded. I believe the 7 day forecast for Faro is Sun Sun Sun, so you lucky people who are there enjoy it. I'll be back in May to break my depression of the UK horrible weather. Cheers Jayjan

To be honest that was the hottest I've known it on a night. I've been going to the Algarve since 1984 and one of the reasons I keep going back is that the temperatures on a night (unlike Greece etc) are usually bearable.
However while we where there last July, the temps on a night dropped about 10c in the space of two nights. All in all, I'd say the Algarve has one of the best climates anywhere.

Yes last July was a bit hot. There is usually a bit of a breeze off the sea, so depending on where you are staying that will most times keep the temperature and humidity bearable.
I wouldn't say air-con is essential.

It's a bit hazy today and not as warm as it has been, at around 15C. It's fairly windy but no rain around.

The wind is howling, the rain is lashing down. It has been since around 2am at least. The rainfall radar looks like this, so a lot more on the way. Have a nice day.

That radar image comes from the official Portugese Met office website www.meteo.pt
You can see the rain coming!
For those of you not here, Monday 12noon it is grey and overcast but mercifully a lot less windy and there's no rain at the moment, but there's a nasty looking lot of stuff around Gibraltar and Cadiz heading this way. 200km at 22km per hour winds = rain by tonight!

I was told by two eye-witnesses that a mini-tornado swept through the old town square at about this time yesterday. It didn't last long but was strong enough to scatter tables and chairs.
You can just see, I think, the 'cone' forming at the centre of the picture above.
I was also told that the skies were literally 'boiling' over near Armacao de Pera.
